If Bennett is going to break out post-Gulutzan, I doubt it'd be under Bill Peters. And getting more out of Bennett (among others) is the foremost reason to fire Gulutzan.
I admit sometimes you need to play a responsible style, but Peters seems like another in a long line of coaches who overcoach the offense out of good players. We've already got one of those.

Why is 33 year old Eric Staal the comparison for Bennett? Young guys like Aho & especially Tervavainen are a much better comparison to Bennett and how he might turn things around under Bill Peters.
